For Reference

The term "quadrobing" originates from the combination of two words: the Latin quattuor – "four" (four legs) and the English aerobics – "aerobics." Quadrobing enthusiasts are primarily teenagers who imitate the actions and habits of animals.

A bit of history. In Tokyo, there was a guy named Kenichi Ito, who was teased as a "monkey" throughout his childhood. He grew up and one day at the zoo became fascinated by the grace and speed of a real monkey's movements. For about ten years, he studied the plasticity, technique, and nuances of animal running, and then began setting speed records in the 100-meter distance on all fours. From 2008 to 2015, he improved his results and was featured in the Guinness World Records each time. American fitness trainers began to take notice of this new running technique, and animal flow – workouts combining yoga, Pilates, stretching, capoeira, and more – gained popularity in the U.S. Over time, the athletic element faded into the background, and quadrobing gradually attracted the attention of teenagers and children, evolving into a subculture.

Today, quadrobing enthusiasts are mainly children and teenagers aged 7 to 14, for whom it is more of a game than a sports competition. Participants can imitate different animals or choose a single character. Typically, quadrobing enthusiasts use accessories: masks, fake ears, artificial tails, and paw gloves.
